The email started off with Depp telling Sir Elton about his mother recovering from recent health issues. He then tells his celebrity friend that his children – Lily-Rose, now 22 and son John Christopher ‘Jack’ III, 20 – are fond of Heard.
“On the other side of the coin my kids have fallen head over heels in deep love with Amber (my girl) and that pressure off my shoulders is f—— gone!!!,” it read. “That is unlike the French extortionist (ex c—) attempts to brainwash them against her… which, I’m sure is imminent.”
Depp later admitted that when his relationship with Paradis, 49, was ending as he was drinking too much.
